Aunty Acid by Ged Backland for March 13, 2022

I’m so old, the twenty something’s, think I am dead.

That’s because I am old.

I’m not old. I’m aged, like fine wine and good sharp cheese.

It takes courage to get old.

Preserved in alcohol….

It’s all in perspective. I think anyone under 60 is young!

and in your case, auntie, they don’t mean it in a good way…

I remember as a child thinking of my parents as ageless. They were always that age. They were never kids.

My body may be old but I still have the mind of a 16 YO.

Who’d a thunk the 1960s would now be termed “a classic golden age”?

I have a sweatshirt that says, “Don’t piss off old people. The older we get, the less life in prison is a deterrent!”

When I talk about “old” people, I mean people 10 years younger than me.

Aging should be considered an extreme sport.

I remember when I thought that people who were in their thirties were old. Then, when I was in my thirties, I got called “m’am” for the first time by someone in their late teens. And so it goes.

Something to be said in favour of “old” tho…. At this point in my life (66+), of all the people that know me, half love me, half hate me and one side will not change the other. I am just fine with either : )

… and a cane and glasses (and few digestive disturbances)

When your young its invites to Birthday Parties, When your old it’s funerals.

And you kids get off my lawn!

Those rotten kids can just Get Off My Non-Existant Grass.
